It has been reported that William Stuart, son of James (1) Stuart was born about 1754 in Augusta County, Virginia. Probably it was earlier and possibly occured in Ireland. He married Nancy Christopher of Knox County, Kentucky and they had at least three children, one of whom was John Stewart whose lineage was documented in what appears to be an old and credible study. John the son of William married Mary Arthur, who was a daughter of Thomas and Sarah Arthur from Bedford County, Virginia. John and Sarah left Knox County, Kentucky and settled in Knox County, Tennessee, where they both died. They raised one of their grandsons in addition to their own son, whose name was: you guessed it, JOHN.
This second John Stewart served with the Kentucky Militia under the command of Capt. G. W. Craig in the War of 1812. He enlisted in Knox County, Kentucky, 1 August 1812 and served in Canada as a part of the infantry. He was married to Mary Miller 1 January 1812 in Tennessee by William Jones. Mary Stewart of Guthrie, Indiana, aged 83 years, widow of John Stewart, applied for a widow's pension 17 January 1876. John Stewart died 15 October 1858 in Elizabeth County Illinois.
They had ten children.
